The equestrian statue of Mehemet Ali
is the only statue in Egypt, excepting, of
course, those found in ancient times.
This IL because of Mohammedan religious
scruples The Mohammedans say that
at the last day Allah will say to every
one guilty of the impertinence of initiating
his creations: PUT thou now n soul
into this thing thou hast carved or painted
in resemblance Of my work." and when
the unhappy artists fail he will pack them
off to sheol in contemptuous wrath at
their presumption. Accordingly, from
the palace of the khedive to the humblest
home Of any Mutsulman of Egypt you
may search in vain for n picture or u
statue adjoining its walls or decorating its
halls or chambers. philadelphia Call.

HuMiol1Y OF TIE AIR.
1;s Efoct on Physique In Summer ana
w~inter-Sudden Changes.

The amount Of aqueous vapor that the
atmosphere is capable of holding varies
with its temperature, being greater when
the air is warm, greater in summer than
in winter, and greater in q warm than a
cold climate. The relative humidity ex-
ercises a powerful influence upon animal
IL vegetable life. 1t is a well known
fact that the inhabitants of q dry climate
are, as n rule, thin and sallow, while
those living in a moist, insular country
have well developed figures and fresh,
ruddy compilations. 1t is to the greater
dryness of this country that we owe the
peculiar physique of our people, which is
SO different from that of our English an
cestors.
Schagintwelt, Il German, who Travelled
extensively in this country, notes this
popularity, asserting that we are very
proud of the ~leanness of the women:
According to Pettenkofer and Volt, the
human body exhales from the lungs and
skin twenty-eiSht ounces in twenty-four
hours and of this a little over seventeen
ounces is from the skin alone and, as the
amount exhaled depends in a great meas
ure upon tho ~hygrometric condition of
atmosphere, it becomes apparenl that
eve a slight change Of only 1 per cent.
in the relative humidity exercises a
marked influence upon the cutaneous and
respiratory %exhalations produces a CORE
spending increase in the urinary secre-
tons and not infrequently in that of the
intestinal canal.
DRY climates, by diminishing the water
in tho blood act as a powerful stimulant
to the nervous system, increasing its func-
tional activity, causing excitement and
sleeplessncss." Hence such climates, ell
though admirably adapted to the treat
ment of pulmonary diseases, are contra
indicted in many nervous affections.
''This effect is observed even in healthy
persons OF their removal to a dry climate,
or to one of considerable elevation, and
exhibits itself in a certain degree of rest
~lessness." Sudden changes in the per-
centage of relate humidity operate very
sensitively in a diseased organism, their
first effects being a sudden increase or
diminution in the blood pressure. Hence
high attitudes, owing to diminished at
mospheric pressure, even when combined
with a high percentage of relative humid,
ity. is similar in its effects to a dry climate
with lower elevation.-New York Mod
ical Journal.

The 80 called patron of art is often a
vulgar millionaire, who thinks that the
artist he invites to dinner should pay for
his meal by entertaining the guests. A
rich banker Of Paris once invited Chopin,
the Polish pianist and composer. to din
ner. When the guests had risen from the
table and repaired to the drawing room
Midas, the host, pointed to a piano, and.
in n matter OF fact style, as if he were in
his own bank, insisted on Chopin playing
something.

could be finely s~atirical when he chose to
be so.

Care of the Skin.

Everybody knows that, in many dis
eases, the battle is lost or won on the
field of the skin; according as its safety
valve functions rise or fall. 1t is the
principle outlet of the body. Four times
more matter is carried out of the body by
the c%utaneous surface every day than by
the alimentary canal.
1t is a complete web of nerves and
blood vessels; its thickly studded pores
constitute the vastest system of corporal
drainage. Twenty-eight miles of tubing,
1000, 000 pores. If these become par
tally closed, disease is certain. 1t is pre-
eminently fitted and intended to be the
battle ground of the physician in his con-
fict with disease.-F. G. Welsh, NJ. d.

CONGRESSMAN GAMBLER recently re
ceived from a lady constituent a request
to call on the president and cabinet. the
supreme court and the senator's and rep
resentatives, and ask each one of them to
rend her an old cravat to be worked into

How Dc We An,use ourseivesr

Why should the workingman be fired
with that ardor for knowledge which is
not expected Of ourselves? l look round
among my acquaintance and friends,
and / declare that l do not know a single
household, except where the head of it is
a literary man, and therefore obliged TO
be always studying and learning, in
which the members spend their evenings,
after the days work, in the acquisition
of new branches Of learning. One may
go further; even Of those who belong to
the learned professions. few indeed there
are who carry on their studies beyond
the point where their knowledge has a
marketable value. The doctor learns his
craft as thoroughly as he can, and, after
he has passed, reads no more than is Just
necessary to keep his eyes open to new
lights; the solicitor knows enough law to
carry on his business, and reads no more.
As for the schoolmaster-who ever
heard of a classical master reading any
more Latin and Greek than he reads
with the boys? and who ever heard of a
mathematical master keeping up his
knowledge of the higher branches, which
put him among the wranglers of his
year, but arc not wanted in the school?
Even the lads who have just begun to go
into the city, and who know very well
that their value would be enormously in
creased by a practical and real knowledge
Of French, German or shorthand, will
not take the trouble to acquire it. Yet,
with tho knowledge of all this, we expect
the workingman in his hours of leisure,
and after a day physically exhaust&ag, to
sit down and work at something intel
lectual. There are, without doubt, some
men so strong and so avid of knowledge
that they will do this, but these are not
many, and they do not long remain
workingmen.-Walter Besant in The
Contemporary Review.

The legislative sandbaggers have beat
the railroads in the various states by
threats Of redu cling railroad fares by law
to two cents per mile. In Illinois and
Wisconsin it is announced that passes
within the state will be issued to mem
bers OF the legislature and elective state
officers. The people who pay fare will
kick at this enforced arrangement as
vigorously as they did at the universal

SONNET TO LIBERTY.

Not that l love thy children. whose dull eyes
See nothing save their own unlovely woe,
whose minds know nothing, nothing caro- to

But that the roar OF thy democracies,
Thy reigns OF terror. thy great anarchies,
Mirror my widest passions like the sea,
And give my rage a brother, Liberty
For this sake only do thy dissonant cries
Delight my discreet soul. else might all kings

Rob nations OF their rights inviolate

iron ship building as as well in other

two iron ships were built in England. A
